Study Notes

DNA Sequencing Methods and Technologies

  • Dideoxynucleotides are incorporated during DNA strand replication in Sanger sequencing, the first generation of DNA sequencing.
  • Pyrosequencing was introduced in the second generation of DNA sequencing, characterized by real-time sequencing.
  • Illumina sequencing technology largely replaced pyrosequencing in second-generation sequencing methods due to its high efficiency.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques provide higher throughput than pyrosequencing; Illumina sequencing is among those advanced NGS methods.
  • Pyrophosphate release during DNA synthesis is detected in pyrosequencing and is central to its sequencing process.
  • Sanger sequencing is the main technology used in the first generation of DNA sequencing, utilizing chain termination.
  • Advanced NGS methods have largely replaced pyrosequencing, offering improved throughput for large-scale sequencing projects.
